Chapter 191
Ling He slipped away with incredible speed, and Qiu Chi didn't stop him.
After Ling He was gone, Qiu Chi, without a word, dragged the Main System out, gave it a beating, and then tossed it back in.
The Main System felt utterly miserable.
After being handed over by Ling He and placed in Qiu Chi's space, it saw the system it had dispatched to Qiu Chi.
System 007 was just a glowing sphere, without eyes or anything of the sort, but the way it stared at the Main System, filled with resentment, made the Main System feel a tiny bit guilty.
It began to make excuses for itself. "I had no choice. You were in her hands at the time, you saw it yourself. I was so weak, I couldn't do anything but run. If she had caught me back then, you probably wouldn't even be seeing me right now. So, I really had my reasons."
System 007 continued to stare resentfully at the Main System, saying nothing.
The Main System went on about its hardships. "You are my most capable subordinate. If I wasn't absolutely forced, I definitely wouldn't have wanted to abandon you and run."
At this, System 007 finally spoke: 【But you still abandoned me and ran. Am I really your most capable subordinate? What if she had destroyed me? You're just a liar. 'Most capable subordinate'—it's all lies!】
"If I hadn't run, I would have been finished. By staying, you still had a use. You could save your own life by telling her what you knew. It was different for me. I'm useless to her, so she would have definitely destroyed me. Our situations were different, you have to understand!"
The Main System pleaded earnestly, but System 007 refused to believe it.
It was exhausted.
Then, it was dragged out by Qiu Chi. Of course, Qiu Chi dragged System 007 out as well.
"Still making excuses for yourself? For a Main System, you're being so meek and subservient. Anyone who didn't know better would think you two were a bickering couple."
The Main System knew when to yield. It immediately begged Qiu Chi for mercy. "Big Boss, I was wrong! This has nothing to do with me. It was all Young Master Ling's idea. I'm just a tool of a system, it really wasn't my fault!"
System 007 mumbled in rebuttal, 【When you've done something wrong, being meek and subservient is what you should be…】 What bickering couple? That was just nonsense.
Qiu Chi ignored System 007 and stared at the Main System. "Aren't you quite capable? Why don't we have a fight? If you win, I'll let you go. How about it?"
The Main System was horrified.
"No, no, no, I'm not capable at all. I'm just a piece of trash. You could destroy me with a flick of your finger. I'm begging you, please let me go."
The Main System was genuinely terrified of fighting Qiu Chi.
It had witnessed the fight between Qiu Chi and Ling He. Even a big boss like Ling He ended up getting thrashed by Qiu Chi. If it were him? She really could make him disappear with a flick of her finger.
The Main System was so spineless that bullying it wasn't even satisfying.
After beating it up, Qiu Chi tossed it back in along with System 007.
Inside the space, System 007 looked at the Main System with schadenfreude. 【You deserved it. Serves you right for abandoning me and running away. You deserved to be beaten. Just you wait, you'll be getting beaten a lot more.】
The Main System was speechless. Getting beaten was better than being destroyed. It only had this one subordinate, so it still had to coax it back.
"Yes, I deserved it. Are you satisfied now? How about you hit me a few times to vent your anger? I really do value you immensely."
Ignoring the drama between the Main System and System 007, Qiu Chi began to prepare for the business of overseeing tribulations.
It had been a long time since anyone had ascended from the Xingyun Realm, and since Mahayana cultivators had long lifespans, there were quite a few waiting to ascend.
In short, the Xingyun Realm was very lively recently.
Thunder tribulations appeared one after another, all the commotion caused by the cultivators attempting to ascend.
Of course, not everyone could successfully pass the thunder tribulation and ascend.
Although she knew all the cultivators undergoing the tribulation, and even had friendly relations with some, the ascension tribulation would not show any mercy because of it.
And for those with whom she had some grievances, the difficulty would not be increased either.
The thunder tribulation was all about fairness.
After seven cultivators ascended from the Xingyun Realm, the concentration of spiritual energy began to increase and transform.
This was the rhythm of a Middle World becoming a Great World.
The process didn't take much time.
From now on, when Mahayana cultivators passed their thunder tribulation, they would no longer ascend. The Xingyun Realm was now a Great World, and they could continue to cultivate further.
As for the cultivation methods, they would have to figure those out on their own at first.
Of course, she would certainly do her part for the world's development.
She went to find Ling He.
When Ling He saw Qiu Chi, his face fell. "If you're really looking for a fight, I can introduce you to the big oaf next door. Go fight him. He's a better match for you."
Qiu Chi shook her head. "I'm not here to fight this time. I'm here to contribute to my world's development."
Ling He understood instantly. "You should have said so earlier! I have plenty of cultivation methods, as many as you want. But let's make a deal. How about we postpone our next fight for a thousand years?"
Qiu Chi looked at him meaningfully. "Actually, robbing you would probably be faster. Don't you think?"
Ling He silently handed over a storage ring. "I think that as friends, it's too impersonal to talk about demands. Here, take it."
Qiu Chi took the ring from Ling He and left immediately.
She returned to the Xingyun Realm and began to set up secret realms and the ruins of cultivators' estates.
Of course, nothing could be gained without effort. If they wanted immortal-grade cultivation methods, they would have to get them themselves.
Thus, the people who had just passed their ascension tribulations but hadn't ascended found themselves in a secret realm.
There weren't many opportunities in the secret realm; it was all trials and combat.
Regardless of the final outcome, everyone would receive an immortal-grade cultivation method.
The methods were all different, however.
Qing Yue was one of those who had passed the tribulation but had not ascended.
After he went through the process and learned that he could cultivate with immortal-grade methods in the Xingyun Realm, he understood that the Xingyun Realm had now become a Great World.
Originally, cultivators from small worlds would ascend to the Xingyun Realm. Now, even cultivators from middle worlds could ascend here.
When Qing Yue realized all this, he was secretly delighted.
He hadn't ascended. Did that mean that he and Qiu Chi…
However, Qiu Chi, who had simply been too busy to deal with him, kicked him out as soon as she was finished with her work.
He wanted to stay and disgust her? Get lost.
She couldn't tamper with the thunder tribulation, but when it came to kicking someone out, Qiu Chi could certainly pull some strings.
Great Worlds were also divided into tiers.
The Xingyun Realm, which was originally a top-tier Middle World, did not leap to become a high-tier Great World upon its promotion.
But it was definitely a mid-tier Great World.
This was all because Qiu Chi's combat power was so formidable that the world had been a high-tier Middle World from its birth.
As for Qing Yue, Qiu Chi kicked him to the lowest-tier Great World.
If he had the ability, he might be able to travel from that world to another. If not, he could just stay in that world until he died.
Did he really think she didn't hold a grudge?
Just because she was powerful didn't mean Qing Yue could get away with disgusting her!
